Born in Hollywood but based in Austin, Texas, Eliza Gilkyson's sound mirrors the soundscapes that reside in those very locations. She's a folk musician with a progressive spirit, echoing the blue-collar sentiments of legends such as Woody Guthrie. But her voice is smooth, good for balladry at times, bright like a sunshine from California. Listen to Gilkyson's poignant and rousing tales Friday evening at the Ritz Theater.
